Presentation Transcript

  1. "Recent development of e-Science & Grid in Thailand" 24 January 2006 Piyawut Srichaikul, NECTEC Putchong Uthayopas, KU

  2. Thailand and a New Frontier in Science and Technology • Recently Thai Government decided to enhance Thailand competitiveness by • More IT investment and usage • Infrastructure: broadband, mobile, low-cost PC • E-learning, e-government • SIPA (Software Industry Promotion Agency) • Aggressive push and pursue new science • Excellence center in Life Science • Nanotechnology Center

  3. Outline • Definition • Players • Application • Status • Approach • New Development

  4. Definition • The UK has defined e-Science as large scale sciences that will increasingly be carried out through distributed global collaborations enabled by the Internet. • Some would say otherwise • “The Grid of Science” seems to be the common adoption for Thailand

  5. Prospect Key Players • Thaigrid  Thailand national Grid Project • Computational Science group • Thailand e-Science project

  6. A partnership project to explore grid computing technology and application in Thailand. Project started since December 2000 • Build a grid related community for application level researchers • Create a grid computing infrastructure for Thai researchers • Stimulate the deployment of Grid Computing Technology • Act as a focal point for international grid collaboration • Link: http://www.thaigrid.net

  7. Community: Computational Science and Engineering Program Consortium (1995-) • The Annual National Symposium on Computational Science and Engineering (http://csep.hpcc.nectec.or.th/anscse/) • Computational Mathematics • Computational Physics • Computational Chemistry and Biology • Computational Fluid Dynamics • Environmental Modeling etc.

  8. Thai e-science Project (2003) • Current members • Computational Chemistry Unit Cell, Department of Chemistry, Chulalongkorn University • Department of Computer Engineering, Chulalongkorn University • HPCNC, Kasetsart University • Contact: http://www.thai-escience.net/ • Dr. Prabhas Chongstitvatana (Associate Professor, Intelligent System Lab, Department of Computer Engineering, Chulalongkorn University)prabhas.c@chula.ac.th

  9. Application Area • Computational Fluid Dynamics • Simulation Modeling • Environment • Computational Chemistry • Virtual Drug Screening, Cheminformatics • Life Science • Bioinformatics

  10. Status There is no “Managing e-Science” in Thailand at this point • Missing Elements • Need: Appropriate “White Paper for Thailand e-science” and Practical “Roadmap for Thailand e-Science” [= strategic direction] • Need: Bridging Grid and Science • Need: Coordinating function

  11. USERS community Drug Design Life Science Simulation Modeling Financial Analysis Animation Grid Advanced network Approach • Build a strong scientific community (People Grid) • Explore innovative application including science, art, culture, entertainment • Extend to industry by industrial partners • Use Grid, HPC, Networking to support the mission

  12. New Development • TNGP can help perform  coordination function to bridge "Grid" and "Science".  • Infrastructure • People • (e-Science) Application

  13. SEA Grid Forum • Emerging new forum for South East Asia Collaboration • Membership currently consists of: • MIMOS (Malaysia), NGO (Singapore), TNGP (Thailand) • Details: asked Jon Lau
